For any change (especially when it comes to database), you will need to backup first. But for changing old links from WordPress admin area, I frequently use Search and Replace plugin.
You could try changing the links using this plugin, but make sure you have a full backup of both database and files before making any changes. Let us know if that resolves your issue.
